It would make more sense if both genders were physically equal to create an efficient team to survive in the ruthless world. That the burden of reproduction was assigned to the physically weaker gender makes even less sense; nevertheless, our ancient ancestors invented a matrilineal family system to balance power, ensuring women would not be forced to marry a male against her will. However, patrilineal lineage took over over time, and man's dominance settled on many levels. Some women resort to manipulation to gain advantages, but ordinary women, like me would lament the improbability of sharing a genuine love with a man who would have been happier than he ever imagined.
THE CHARACTERS
SERPENT,
aka NAGA, the eight-headed
deity. The snake represents the frailty that sees us stray from the
path and often into darkness. Big predators make the headlines, but
ordinary people are tempted to commit small-scale cheating when shielded under anonymity. On good days we can fight off the temptation,
but on bad days when we have just lost something and the world seems unfair, our
hands reach out for it while a sinking feeling spreads inside our hearts,
warning us that this is not the way to get even with life. However,
God or the universe may not mind if the gain is minimal? So we tell
ourselves.
NAGA represents
the second chance and atonement in life.
GODDESS IRIS/NEMESIS:
Instead of picking one from the existing religions, all of which I respect, I
opted to represent the universe's will via Goddess IRIS. God gave us
light, and Goddess followed it up with the sound, but as sound travels slower
than light, no one knows her existence despite benefiting from her gift,
music. Something turned this once open-book IRIS into NEMESIS, Goddess of
Retribution.
THE
SPIRIT of LOUIS XIII: The king of France who reigned
from 14 May 1610 – to 14
May 1643. Enigmatic character the world may not have fully appreciated,
not unlike the current, which can be substantial even if the river looks calm.
OMELETTE: the dog who was the pet of Louis XIII in its former life.
TRUST: The
Nephilim, rejected by the angels and the man, opted to take over the dark
throne vacated by the Serpent. Devil was the name imposed on the
Nephilim by the man, while the name he chose for himself is TRUST.
ADAM: Of course, the first man was created after
the shape of God.
